This is something I've recently been looking at... I've been trying to research google's api. Hopefully I can find a way for users to flag a translation as bad and submit a correct translation. Plan B is to give users a link to translate.google.com and they can copy the text there and file a better translation with the system. We may also implement a system where Transbot pulls translations from multiple sources and users vote which is best for certain languages. Maybe add a 'translation method' variable to each channel that can be set. Someone has already told me that Google translate is lousy at German. So yeah, we'll see.
Thanks for the input :) Taylor Rose Transbot Dev Team On Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 4:33 PM, < tosmaillist.neophyte_...@ordinaryamerican.net> wrote: > What do you propose to do if the translation is inadequate?
